If you love a good trope in your YA romance reads, the Better Than the Movies books by Lynn Painter will not disappoint. We've got enemies to lovers, grumpy vs sunshine and second chances with this duology.
Liz Buxbaum and Wes Bennet have grown up living next door to each other. And let's just say they don't particularly love each other's company! In fact, they can't stand each other. But then Wes becomes good friends with Liz's all-time crush, and she has no choice but to use him to get the prom invite she so covets. She will end up realising that she possibly likes being around Wes more than she'd care to admit. But things aren't as straightforward as they seem... And will they last beyond school?
We love that the books feature quotes from the best-loved rom-coms of cinema throughout, and they're the perfect read if you've enjoyed Betting on You, also by Lynn Painter.
